MATERIALS
The Bobble Sheep Pillow Bundle now comes in a Partridge Superwash version, which includes…

  • Main Yarn: 3 skeins of Purl Soho’s Partridge Superwash, 100% superwash wool in either Heirloom White or Wrought Iron. Each skein of this chunky/bulky-weight yarn is 109 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 270 yards required.
  • Contrast Yarn: 1 skein of Purl Soho’s Good Wool, 100% dyed Andean highland wool, in the color Coastline Gray. Each skein is 383 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 75 yards required.

You’ll also need…

  • US 9 (5.5 mm), 16- or 24-inch circular needles
  • A set of US 9 double pointed needles
  • A set of US 4 (3.5 mm) double pointed needles
  • Stitch markers, including one unique
  • One 12-ounce bag of Fairfield’s Poly-fil Stuffing
  • Scrap yarn in a worsted weight and a crochet hook to match (for provisional cast on)

NOTE: Because Partridge Superwash has a bit less yardage than the original Partridge, this bundle now includes an extra skein. The Superwash version is also a touch thicker, so the finished pillow has a slightly taller finished dimension.
